At Woolhampton, we follow the Kapow RE scheme of work.  This is adapted to ensure that it meets the requirements of the 2026 Statement of Entitlement for Church of England Schools (see below).

 

Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews curriculum (R&W curriculum) aims to develop deep thinkers who are
open-minded about religion and worldviews. Our R&W curriculum is relevant to pupils, reflecting
and preparing them for life in modern Britain. Through the scheme, children will secure a deep
understanding of concepts in order to be able to make connections, ask and respond to challenging
questions, learn to respect and appreciate worldviews that are different to their own and consider
their personal preconceptions, responses and views.

Children will build their conceptual knowledge through studying religions and worldviews locally,
nationally and globally in our progressive curriculum, enabling them to make links and connections
between worldviews, develop disciplinary skills and build on their understanding of their
positionality in relation to their learning . By revisiting key ‘big questions’ and building on prior
knowledge, pupils will learn about how religion and worldviews are lived experiences across the
world, consider the impact of worldviews on society and have opportunities to consider their
personal worldviews.

Kapow Primary’s R&W scheme of work enables pupils to meet the government guidance, which
states that RE must reflect that ‘the religious traditions in Great Britain are, in the main, Christian
while taking account of the teaching and practices of the other principal religions represented in
Great Britain’. Our scheme has been designed to fulfill the aims of A Curriculum framework for
Religious Education in England. For EYFS, the lessons allow pupils to work towards targeted
‘Understanding the world’ Development matters statements and Early learning goals, while covering
foundational knowledge that will support them in their further Religion and worldviews learning in
Key stage 1.
